@Not: "Well...after 37 years...I have officially packed it in.
I am no longer a Bruins fan.
Jeremy Jacobs is "The New Harold Ballard"...those of you over 30 know what I 
mean...
Year after year of mediocrity...and finally this...blindsiding your captain 
with a trade to a bottom-feeding team in a non-hockey market, for an 
insulting 3 mediocre players...
I have officially jumped ship.  Since I live in Ontario, and am not 
completely mentally deficient (thus eliminating the possibility of cheering 
for the Laffs), Ottawa was an obvious choice.
I have always like the Sens, I hate the Laffs like it's my job, and would 
rather my daughter become a heroin-shooting-crack-whore than marry a Hab 
fan...Ottawa it is.
The fact that they have quite possibly the best line EVER made things easy 
for sure.
Ladies and Gentlemen....for my 1st time ever....GO SENS GO...
Cheers,
Randy.
(PS: I will be cheering the SENS tonight....)

    @sledmonkey: "Welcome aboard Randy!
Well, I will consider you my new friend then!!  Any friend of the Sens is a
friend of mine!!
I have been spreading the word for years about this Sens team, and it's
great to know that my message is finally getting through to people in other
newsgroups.
You made a good choice coming aboard this Sens rocketship.  This Sens team
is the next dynasty, so enjoy the ride!!
Congratulations on uttering your first ever "GO SENS GO!"  I've uttered that
many, many times over the years, and everytime I say it it's special.  I
still remember my first ever "GO SENS GO" very special indeed.  I assume
that since you were a Bruins fan, you've already said your first "LEAFS
SUCK" but if not, feel free to let one of those go tonight as well.  It
feels great!!
Again, welcome aboard, and we'll see you at the parade in June!
Ottawa Senators
Pending Stanley Cup Champions

Ah, but do you know the secret handshake?
If not, you have to pass a test to see if you can get in:
Q1. Who was Ottawa's first ever pick in the entry draft?
Q2. Who is now in the lineup as a result of that pick?
Q3. Who has coached both the Senators and the Bruins, and failed at both?
Q4. Who's the last Senator to record a Gordie Howe hat-trick?
Q5. Why do Leafs fans hate Alfredsson?
You must get at least three right without using Google before you can call 
yourself a fan.  If you succeed, you shall be required to liven up this 
group!  Unfortunately it suffers from trollitis, and a serious lack of 
participants.
Of course, you can also get in by invitation ... so, would you like to come 
in?
I see Sled has already welcomed you.  In the coming days, you will suffer 
the embarassment of realizing slapshot, MetalheadsFXP and lembo also call 
themselves Sens fans.  You will meet Kyle, our Sens Fan Happy in Ohio, who 
needs to be talked down off the ledge every once in a while, but otherwise 
is an enthusiastic and astute poster, and the longest serving member of this 
group.  You will meet mumps, who always makes good points and who needs to 
post more often.  The cerebral Dave Livingston will sometimes baffle you 
with his references to people and philosophy concepts that will leave you 
wondering what he's talking about, but you will be entertained nonetheless. 
There are some good fans of other teams who post in here, in particular, ken 
and Mayhem, both welcome Leafs fans, and DaveHX, a Habs fan.  You will 
probably be abused by Realto Margarino, Manchester United, and several other 
Leafs fans, but that just goes with the territory.
As I write this, Boston leads 2-0, so I'm wondering if you're still a Sens 
fan.  Please confirm.  And I hope you're not bad luck  ;^)"

Wow, you really went out on a limb here eh?
Let's see, I need a new team. Hmm, let me glance at the standings.... oooh,

Fairweather fans.... I'm sure Beantown is weaping at their loss of you.....

    @nospam: "Clyde (me) is Realto?
ha! i am one of his biggest antifans!
crap...i gotta go...i peed meself!

    @not: "You're one to talk about spelling Mayhem,
It's "weeping", not "weaping"...
You might want to run spell check on your own posts prior to criticizing 
others.
Have a nice fucking day.
